In time for the release for Windows 7, Microsoft has added 14 new customised theme to its Windows 7 gallery. There is something for everyone. Car lovers would probably like the Ferrari, Ducati, Porsche and Infiniti themes. While hardcore xbox gamers would most likely prefer the two Gears of War themes.

If your like me who prefer a more cool/laid back/landscape(ish)/scenery theme the Bing’s Best would be perfect for you. To download the themes head over to Windows 7 Personalization Gallery.

Installing these themes is easy, follow the instruction below.

To download a theme, click the Download button, and then click Open. The theme is applied to your desktop and added to Personalization in Control Panel.

Finally the wait is over, Windows 7 has finally retailed. If your like me I’m very excited about Windows 7 and rightly so! I could say many of Windows 7’s feature is better than Mac’s OSX.

If you are looking to get a copy of Windows 7 from retail stores or buy a new computer preloaded with Windows 7. DON’T! There are plenty of ways out there to get it for cheap or even free for that matter. One of the way is joining the Windows 7 Upgrade Program, which would work if you have purchased a new PC or laptop preloaded with Windows Vista between June 26th, 2009 and January 31st, 2010. Basically if you fall into this category contact your computer maker and sign up to the program and they will send a upgrade DVD to your mailbox.

I have attached below some manufactures which does run the Windows 7 Upgrade Program and their links.

If you are a student chances are you can also get Windows 7 on the cheap just ask around. Let me know how your Windows 7 experience is/was.
